USDA Inspection Report: 24 Aug 2010

Code: 01C02Violation: 416.13(c), 416.14, 416.4(d)

Citation: On August 24, 2010 at 0700 I went into
the meat grinding room and observed two plastic tubs of ground beef
trimmings that have a white off color (freezer burn) on them. A
regulatory control action was initiated to restrict use of the
product until corrective action could be performed (Tag # B39161269
and B 36105807). Mr. and Mr. were informed immediately. The
Regulations in Section 416.13(c) state "Each official establishment
shall monitor daily the implementation of the procedures in the
Sanitation SOP's." The Regulations in Section 416.4(d) state
"Product must be protected from adulteration during processing,
handling, storage, loading, and unloading at and during
transportation from official establishments." The Regulations in
Section 416.14 state "Each official establishment shall routinely
evaluate the effectiveness of the Sanitation SOP's and the
procedures therein in preventing direct contamination or
adulteration of product(s) and shall revise both as necessary to
keep them effective and current with respect to changes in
facilities, equipment, utensils, operations, or personnel."
